Way Cool Ten

Freeware caution: always scan free downloads of anything for bugs and other threats before dumping the programs into your hard drive.

1. Want to write stories, but can't write? No longer a problem; 7thnovel is a freeware program that will write your short stories for you.

2. The Abstract Art Title Generator was created for use by artists, but some of the titles I got from it would work nicely for parodies, stories and even some novels. Who could resist a book titled "Undefined Bachelor Transformed"?

7. Compose your own music from scratch using VioLet Composer; break a music-writing block with the random chord generator freeware program koZong (click on downloads, then scroll down.)

8. A classic one-line story generator that often produces hilarious combos, The Story Starter*.

9. Kenyen.net has shut down their web site, but Writer's Block v. 1.0, their freeware writing block-buster program, is still available for download on a couple of mirror/host sites, like the ones here.

10. Zoner has a bunch of trial and free downloads on their site; Zoner Draw 3 is now being offered as freeware.

OMG! I've been slackassing, trying all those links. They're hilarious! The name generator for characters said I should name my next heroine Velvet Nipple. *rofl* Sure, and if I make her a virgin, that will be a hit name.

Violet Composer requires the Microsoft .Net framework that you have to DL from them. I'll have to pass on that since a dial-up is no place for a monster that size (not to mention I have enough MS krep on the computer).
